Maria Con Su Bisabuela

Maria and I spent the morning together with my grandmother, Abuela. She is Maria's great-grandmother, bisabuela, Antonia.
They drew pictures and played with Maria's bunny figures. Abuela made tortillas de harina.
Maria said, "Mommy, you should make tortillas like these." I should.

Two beautiful examples of womankind! One is young, just learning to experience life. The other, is not-so-young, her life experiences worn on her sweet face like a badge of honor! What secrets are they sharing with one another? I wish I could know...

Hi, Natalie! How wonderful to start my day with your lovely image of your beautiful Maria and Abuela...We're just back from our trip Stateside, and getting over jet lag--LOL! So nice to visit you & your family here and catch up. Hope you are having a great week ((BIG HUGS))

Everyone else is talking about how sweet your girlies look together, but the REAL news is those homemade tortillas... Mmm mmm. We had a Hispanic family we were close with in our church growing up, and I'll never forget Nora's homemade jam-filled sopapillas. Damn, those were good.

Shop Closed Until We Have Sunnier Days!

We may have reached a special phase in our project... the phase where I can't... can't cook, can't clean, can't see how we are going to return to (our version of) normal. But, at least I totally got dinner right: Cold cereals, for all!

Anna Banana came by, which was a nice treat... I let her see every bit of the dust and chaos we are living in during our "simple" update to the porch, and living room. That's what you do with the ones you love... you don't pretend life is glossy and pure, instead you let it all hang out, and in return they hug you, and laugh with you, and let you know about a 20lb cat that needs a home. I love Anna B. She's a bestie, for sure.

An Open Air Barn

This is the place we designed and built to keep our chickens, goats, and bunnies happy and safe. It's a dream come true!
